Enid Mary Blyton (1897–1968) was an English author of children's books.
Born in South London, Blyton was the eldest of three children, and showed an early interest in music and reading. She was educated at St. Christopher's School, Beckenham, and - having decided not to pursue her music - at Ipswich High School, where she trained as a kindergarten teacher. She taught for five years before her 1924 marriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had two daughters. This marriage ended in divorce, and Blyton remarried in 1943, to surgeon Kenneth Fraser Darrell Waters. She died in 1968, one year after her second husband.
Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's.
According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare.

Pamela Cox, you did a wonderful job. The new books are wizard! I thoroughly enjoyed the 5th and the 6th ones, with great new characters that offers lots of fun, mischief, tears and redemption.
Kitty was smashing, too bad she only stayed for one term. However, I believe Pamela also needed to adjust with the canon as none of these new characters appeared in the later (timeline-wise) canon books.
I also liked that Alison was portrayed in a more sympathetic light in Pamela's books. I don't know why but I have a soft spot for her. Carlotta was my favorite too, she's a bit like Elizabeth Allen with her fiery temper but also a very good friend and strong leader.
Now I am sad since I have only three books to read.

It was like our own school. I traveled into the book with Pat and Isabel. My most favourite part was the midnight feast and how Kitty tricked Margaret and Mc Ginty became the hero. I absolutely LOVED this three in one book.

My childhood in 3 books
unfinished-disliked
July 21, 2023Bought this book on kindle thinking it was the second three Enid Blyton St Clare’s books. But no - after “The Second Form at St Clare’s”, the next two books were by Pamela Cox. Started “The Third Form at St Clare’s” and got to the end of chapter 4 when it became clear that this was just a mishmash of plot lines taken from other EB school books, with small variations.
Eg - Rachel, the girl with a secret, - as had Margery and Carlotta; putting on a show (MT and earlier SC) and the various dramas surrounding it; featherheaded Alison attached to Fern who has the touch of malice required for the story; horse mad Libby - variation on character from MT.
Gave up - put “Second Form” as a stand-alone on my reading list.
